Using humor and play....To improve everything!!!

Have you ever sat around with family or friends and laughed so hard it almost hurt! I try to do this as often as I can.. because it's so much fun. Ohh, you haven't laughed lately? That's not so good, and if you have keep up the good work! Laughter is strong medicine for mind and body!!! All kidding aside there has been tons of research, proving the benefits of Laughter it relaxes the whole body. A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.

Maybe I should become a laughalagist....
Laughter boosts the immune system. Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, so if we laugh more we will be well...
Laughter triggers the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins (feel good chemicals) promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.
Laughter protects the heart. Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.

Yes it does all that for free.. now you see why it's a good idea to hang out with funny people like me. Or in fact you can check this out....We have a local group in the pinellas county area...

So... start laughing.. remember...it's good for you!!!!
